I'm currently back on the HTC ROM but I would assume you can still run any of the home replacements from the market (or just the default android one) on MoDaCo.

do you know any good ones?

It's really a preference thing, there's no harm in installing any one of them and seeing if you like'em. Sense really is the better fit for me.
Some of the major ones are:
- OpenHome
- aHome
-dxTop
- PandaHome
...that's just off the top of my head some of the ones I've tried. They each have some cool and unique things about them.

Once i figure what can me skinned and how i will be making themes. Not sure if i will post any, as i must have made at least 100 themes for S2U2 for personal use when i had my WinMo phones. If i did do one to post it would more than likely be a Danbo (Danboard) theme.
I just discovered that little guy and i already outfitted my chompSMS with several wallpapers of him.

aHome Lite made my Hero so laggy i could hardly use it. It took me like 10 minutes just to get it uninstalled.
Also, when i was searching for OpenHome i couldnt find the actual program, only themes. Anyone know the official app name?

lol if you figure out how to make a theme you should defiently make me one

I didn't have much trouble with aHome, odd.
Any home replacement will be difficult to find on the market if there's a bunch of themes with the name in it sadly.
I almost forgot a few more too:
- Freshface
- GDE (though I don't know if this one is out yet)
As for OpenHome, fire up that barcode scanner and go here:
http://www.androidtapp.com/open-home/ It has QR codes to scan and will take you straight to the market app.

which one do you think looks the best? and is the fastest

I thought I recognized you from PPCG!
I used to have a Diamond and even made a few ROMs using some of the great kitchens available. It would be awesome if there were some kind of kitchen for the Hero. Hell, I might even give it a try then...just don't tell my wife, she thinks I quit cooking.

lol you got the hero too?

There is a kitchen, its called Android SDK and you can use it with eclipse. all you need to do is go grab the source from htc and compile it the way you want to and load it up with eclipse. or the android emulator. there is other steps but thats what google is for. i am working on my own rom right now. cant wait till its done. i am wondering how fast a bone stock rom would run.

I would be ur number one fan for a bone stock Android with hero support. I'd even go as far as to say it would be the base most custom roms are based off of.
I'm not a programmer but if u go through with this is there any way to twist cryogen's work into it? He gets great reviews and the update utility is pretty pimp

Yep, they banned me over something dumb, and i didnt feel like fighting them, plus since i have a Hero now they are useless.

can someone tell me how to make roms and stuff like that for the hero maybe a guide or video on it? thanks

Good to know! I'll check it out. I've got quite a bit of catching up to do. Looking forward to your ROM as well.

Has anyone removed Sense? How does your phone run? And is it possible?
thanks

Yep. Just remove Rose.apk and Rose.odex from /system/app. I made my own custom gutted Hero rom with a lot of things removed including the boot animations. Im thinking about uploading it. I can upload a Sense-less (pun intended) Hero if you would like. Note, I did not test it much. Just played with it for a few minutes. Make sure you Nandroid backup

could you please?

Sure. I'll get it together and uploaded as soon as possible.

Is it truly "Sense"-less? That is, with the standard white menu bar, default icons, etc.?

ok thanks im looking forward to it

holy hell, removing htc sense speeds up boot time tenfold. i had it diabled but after removing it completly boot time is awesome. thanks for the tip! cant wait to try ur rom

I just removed rosie my phone is rebooting now

Im going to upload it soon. And now it is not going to be truly senseless yet. I dont have enough time to do that right now but I hope to soon. At the very least it will have all HTC Widgets deleted as well as Rosie.

when do you think you will have it uploaded?

Well, I am just going through some basic testing right now to make sure it works. I made two roms. They are both basically MoDaCo's roms so he should get all the credit. I just took some leg work out of it for you guys
Like I said, when I have them all tested and working I will upload. Hopefully that means soon. And remember I am not new to the whole rooting/hacking scene but to rom development I am new so please forgive me for saying these are pretty darn beta

My phone is way faster with sense gone

if you want ill help you test it and ill give you feed back?

Well, I'm having some trouble with the senseless rom. I will PM you with it and let me know if it works for you.

my phone runs great i have MoDaCo 1.1 with apptosd and i removed htc sense my phone is only useing 8m of internal storage. I can't belive how fast it is.

Sorry T.A saw this from TCP and accidently addressed it to you my bad sorry.

its ok
sorry i couldnt answer that for you

Hey TA,
I am really liking this. This is my first attempt to try and shy away from Sense. The boot animation is a crack up! The black keyboard looks great! If I didn't use Swype I would really enjoy it more

Im glad you like it.

So far everything is running good. I have noticed a lot more internal space, most likely due to Sense and Sense apps removed.
The security lock code screen looks great! I am really digging the black.
Question, on others and on Sushi, the apps launcher is the standard gray color. Is it possible/easy to change the color of it? IMO it is an ugly color. I like the black with Sense personally, but keeping with your theme orange might look cool. Just a thought.
I think you adding 5 screens instead of 3 is a plus. Also, I noticed that when I am in an app I launch from one of the home screens and hit the home button it takes me back to that home screen and not the main home page, MAJOR PLUS! Kinda like hitting the back arrow, something I think shoudl be a setting in stock and other ROMS. Hit it once more and it takes you home.
Overall I am liking it. I do miss Sense, this is my first attempt to go without Sense, a little hard becasue I mostly use Sense apps (Favorites, Agenda, Pictures, Bookmarks) but I am getting use to this. Going to try to keep myself on it for a week to see how it goes!

I'm sure it is difficult, thougth I would ask.
What about doing the Nexus launcher instead?

u could install it, or use other home replacments in the market.

Holy F, There are a Lot of ROMs

Just went to look at the dev section. Come on... Really?

Is a big selection a problem?

FYI about "all" the roms... in terms of FROYO roms, they are virtually ALL THE SAME -- CM6. The rest of them are actually just rebranded CM6.

Thanks for the sweet input. I'm sure the community will decide to stop working on all of their different ROMs, themes, and whatnot to suit your belief.

It's not that bad - there were times when you could choose from really different ROMs, but then Cyanogen started to support G1 with his CyanogenMod and these days there's only few the bravest who try to build their ROM from AOSP, not from CM source.
So it's like CM AND themed/renamed/scripted MC.

In terms of trying them all to find a preferred one? I guess it's up to the person and how much time they have.

Sorry to offend you chap. I love innovation fwiw. I like the skinning of the CM base too. But again, wow, there are a lot. Thanks for commenting!

Do you seriously think there are a lot of ROMs?
Maybe over time, not updated ones. You have no idea how sweet it was when Donut was still the big player.

Heh, it's like when I first got my G1 and watching the android store: "Oh! There's another one!".
I've been around since the beginning and you are right about how "sweet" and exciting it was when the updates came fast and furious. I guess I've been spoiled by that experience, and now it seems to me there are two pages of same ol' different bonnet.
To be clear, not saying this is a bad thing.

yeah, feel ya buddy, i got my g1 less than a week ago, and i felt exactly like you when i wanted to chose a ROM to flash.
I flashed CM6 just to try it out, then switched to biffmod 2.sth, which is like a shaved CM. biff runs a lot faster than CM for me, but i need some ROM that will let at leaste SOME ram free, and that wont kill my battery in just a few hours.. i guess ill have to go for eclair or donut,, i just didnt want to miss froyo updates..
so if you do find some good ROM, let me know

He said virtually. And cause yours ain't cm based, im DEF gonna give it a try! Are you planning on getting cam working? Is it you own kernel? Nm, I'll just go read your thread. =]
Oh wait! If I recall you had the first "froyo" right! I was just remembering how that rom was stable for a week with no slowdowns! It just had missing functionality.... I missed that your still developing, I thought you stopped on froyo cause of cm. Going to look for it now. Thx

Chromium 4.5. It's in the first two pages, I'm on an iPad now so posting links is like pulling teeth, sorry. I've been on Super F now for 24+ hours and it's pretty good too.
Anyone able to recommend a donut or eclair that is still being maintained I would be much obliged.

aaaah I think its called "Chromatic", not "Chromium", thats why I couldnt find it.. lol
ill give it a try, but anyways, Im still looking for a very light 2.1 to see if I can get more battery life and RAM

[rom request] Vanilla makes Sense...

Ok... there are a nice hand full of "sense-less" sense roms out right now, Athena being my favorite of these. But once upon a time, before Incdoes blew up into a monster dev (then crashed and burned) he did the complete opposite. He had his "Best of both worlds" AOSP rom with sense stuff in it (rom thread here) This was my favorite rom at that time.... I like AOSP but also like a lot of the sense... i know i'm not the only one who feels the same, so can this be done now with GB? Hope someone with the skills tries this cuz i think people would like this also......
I still have his v2.0 and v2.1 if someone wants to take a look at them and try for them selves.....

hey stoney.....i would love to try it out...still looking for something different...and I never tried it when he was around...was digging his DesireZ, and am still running it to this day, even though i can't access internal memory...where can I get it?

I agree. I LOVED that rom. Sense widget support with a stock launcher (and feel) for me would be ideal. Great idea trying to bring something of this caliber back!

Updated OP with download links.....

Edit: Disregard

The only thing I miss from Sense is the camera app. Widgets etc. I never really cared for. The Sense camera is amazing though.

I'd love to pull is HTC Flashlight and Camera apps for AOSP Gingerbread

bump cuz i want this!!!!!!!

It seems like the think in that rom that worked were just apks werent they?
Most HTC apks should be installable still. Im not sure if that rom used actually sense widgets or not.

I think there are framework issues. Especially since HTC has not released their gingerbread update yet. Even then, I'm sure its proprietary.

Khanam also posted 2.3 in the original thread. This may help whoever wants to take this over.

found 2.3 in my office pc. its 77.25mb. here is the link. should work. flashing it was finicky when i flashed it way back so dont be surprised if you get FCs. also how i got it to work was by flashing it over cm6. maybe it was just me
